Ellie's piano recital

well, it's been awhile. lots of stuff has happened. school started, i had surgery, we went to oregon/idaho for the fourth of july, birthdays came and went. i guess i'm not so good at keeping this up. oh well. these are pics and video of ellie's piano recital. she did great. i can't believe how grown up she is. it's fun to watch.

We finished the Wasatch back relay on Sat. It started Friday at 11:20 am and finished Sat around 4:00 pm. 180.5 miles from Logan to Park City over the mountains. What an accomplishment. It was so fun, We signed up for next year right after we finished. Good friends, hard runs, no sleep, what more could you want? There are 12 people on our team, the Wardies. I was runner one so I got the privilage of starting us off. and I got to finish first. Sweet deal for me. It was so hot during the day, but cooled off nicely for the night run. The heat came back fast the next day for a fun finish.

While Eliie was at camp, Sarah and Zac and I went to the pool.  Fun in the sun.  That night Zac played baseball.  It was the end of season tournament.  He was tired, but still played great!  Threw a guy out at second from the outfield.  Way to go Zac!

Ellie went to girls camp this year!  When did she grow up?  She had such a good time.  She took the camara and took pics herself and got to stay in a great cabin(no tents).  How spoiled is that?  She came home singing and giggling lots.  Was I ever that giggly?  She also, to my wonderful surprise, shared her testimony at the end of camp.  Her leaders and others said she was fun to be around.  I am so happy for her.  Way to go Ellie!

We went to Lagoon on Friday, June 13. It was so fun! Every one is tall enough to ride the rides this year. Yeah! We found a gun museum. Zac thought that was so cool! Ellie and Sarah found the prettiest guns and Zac found the biggest. hee hee!

Finally, J0n50nz R BlogN! (Posted by Chad)

K so people have begged and pleaded for us to blog or boring life and so here it is. The Inaugural post from the Johnsons and an image of the kids...enjoy.

Tomorrow is O.C Tanners Lagoon (Local amusement park) Day so we are off to have some fun. If we get around to it, we will upload images of it this weekend.

Cathy's race is next weekend. Then Cub country the week after. After that we are off to Oregon for the 4th of July, then a 2 week break before Sandra and kids come to visit. With all that going on, we are also remolding the basement so visitors have a place to stay. Then, we plan to go to SD and visit the mountain of dead presidents.

Like everyone else we know, we have a very busy summer and with Cat signed up for School next year--our fall looks full as well.
